Cameras: working #3

Open Vistaus opened 9 years ago

The cameras (rear and front) are both working perfectly fine at their maximum resolutions (5 MP in the front and I believe the back one is 5 MP as well).

To do so, follow this how-to I've written to patch, compile and install the patched kernel: https://github.com/Vistaus/surface3-arch-antergoslinux/issues/8

Afterwards, you can take photos with the cameras with a photo taking app. I recommend Cheese for doing so (already installed if you're using Antergos like me). In the Cheese preferences, you can choose if you want to use the front or rear cam and of course you can change this on the fly. The cameras are also working fine in Skype. Didn't test any other apps.

Tested on 3.18 rc5 so far, but supposedly works on 3.17 as well.

Works fine on 3.18.0 Stable as well.
